Not even an idle cargo ship would be open to a sneaky stranger like Jenkins, let alone swinging a sword or using the Twin Devils in front of thousands of people.
He pretended to be an ordinary sailor on the pier, standing in front of a large cargo box and looking at the sea, but he was actually observing the aura through the eyes of reality.
Very fortunately, there was only one person in that ship, which meant that if the Dream Elves' news was correct, no escorts were in sight.
Jenkins really wanted to know what kind of mentality DeVoe had to sneak into Nolan without any men, but he didn't need to know that either.
After comforting the white cat on his shoulder and confirming that no one was paying attention, he walked towards the pier amidst the crowd.
Because the merchant ships docked nearby were unloading, no one in the dense and noisy crowd paid attention to the humble Jenkins. He approached the port with a spell in his hand, and when he flashed in front of the smoking man standing there lazily, the man's eyes immediately became dizzy.
It's a pity that there is no such thing as a "hypnosis charm" in this world. If you want to control people's thoughts and souls, you can't just rely on spells. Jenkins uses a spell that paralyzes the body by emitting electricity, making a person unable to control his own body, which is very useful in a duel.
Supporting the cursed man before he fell down, Jenkins gathered his emotions, and then asked loudly with panic on his face:
"Oh, sir, what's the matter with you?"
The man's companion on the boat immediately noticed the movement here, and then hurriedly helped him into the cabin with Jenkins to rest.
Jenkins didn't deliberately stay on the boat after he finished helping. After accepting the thanks from the rude bosun, he got off the boat, and then walked towards the fishery trading registry in the distance under the eyes of everyone.
"Stay here and wait for me, I'll be back soon."
He patted the cat lightly, and then returned to the cargo ship using the phantom left in an inconspicuous corner of the ship just now.
There are not enough people on the ship waiting for maintenance, and all of them are ordinary people. After successfully boarding the boat, with Jenkins' ability, he can easily control all the people without disturbing the shore.
The smoothness of this process made him a little puzzled.
Divo didn't buy off the ship, but simply hid here. The place he chose was the bottom cabin where a small steam furnace was placed. Although this ship was not powered by steam, as long as there is a small steam furnace in this era, there are many sophisticated instruments that can be driven even on board.
Jenkins is now standing on the wooden ladder leading to the lower cabin, and he can see a dim corridor below. This corridor is very short and only slightly divides the lower cabin, and Devo is behind the door on the left .
"How did it go so smoothly?"
Jenkins still couldn't believe how lucky he was today, but now he had no choice but to push open the hatch with a candle in one hand and a cane in the other.
The temperature in this room is obviously higher than the outside, and you can feel the steam hitting your face when you open the door. The faint fire light is a symbol of the operation of the steam furnace. At this time, the furnace door is closed, and only the sound of gear rotation and bearing impact can be heard. It seems that since there are not many people on board, the steam furnace here is still in operation.
He stood at the door and looked to the left. Lying on a simple folding bed was a thin man with a scruffy beard. This bed and all the daily necessities here should have belonged to the workers who managed the cabin, but the person lying now is undoubtedly Devo.
"You are a little different from what I imagined. I thought you would be the kind of fierce and strong man who can stand on his fists and run on his shoulders. Could it be that this common cold really tortured you into this state? ?”
"Ahem... in your opinion, should I still be wearing an eye patch to cover my one eye? Cough... common cold? Cough, this damn common cold. Cough... Ha, I'm curious too, although I I expected that even if I hid here, someone would be able to find me, but what method did you use to find this damn thing so quickly? I think I hid it well this time. Cough cough... "
The one who spoke was naturally Devo, who was lying in a sick bed and his life was like a candle in the wind. His voice was hoarse and nasal, which was a typical symptom of influenza. In addition, Jenkins also smelled blood and a faint smell of herbs on him, presumably used to treat trauma.
"Even if you hide at the end of the world, I can find you as long as you are still in the material world. So, you are not surprised by my arrival?"
Jenkins tapped his cane on the wooden floor, then took a step into the cabin. After a series of shocking coughs, Devo let out a piercing laugh, which seemed to be the voice of the old witch living in the forest described in "Strange Stories":
"I only know that someone will find me, but I don't know which side... You don't smell like a sailor on your body, hehe, ahem... It shouldn't be my 'old friends' men... The bestower of the Orthodox Church? No, If it was them, you wouldn't be the only one... cough cough... well, I don't know who you are."
"But you don't seem worried about my presence. It's interesting. What cards do you have? That gear on your body? That pendant in the shape of a rudder? A bottle with a model ship hidden in the quilt ?still… "
The monocle has already appeared in the eye sockets, and at such a close distance, Jenkins can completely distinguish the shapes of all auras.
Generally speaking, Mr. Cautious Writer does not have the bad habit of talking nonsense to the enemy before killing him. It is only this time that he is suspicious of the importance of the middle-aged pirate in front of him, so he will be mentioned in future reminders.
After talking for a few words, Jenkins was a little disappointed. The other party was indeed seriously ill and troubled by serious injuries, and he did not show any connection with "Jenkins Williams".
"It seems that you have investigated all my methods. Could it be that I was betrayed? Ahem, but I remember that I didn't tell anyone about my whereabouts."
The seriously ill man coughed again while talking, and the coughing sound made Jenkins suspect that he would cough out his lung lobes. He would also gasp for breath occasionally, sounding like he was bothered by chest tightness. It seems that Jenkins' [Curse of Disease] has really made a great contribution this time. As his level increases and he has a deeper understanding of the curse, the effect of this ability is not just a simple disease.
